Description

A quest that took Kane into forbidden wastelands, and tested his killer skills against the most brutal forces ever summoned against a single man. Kane knew he'd lost his strength, and perhaps his soul, when he entered the erotic web of the vampire. . . .

Three stories of death for Kane. Cold light was not on par with Mirage and Reflections for the Winter of my Soul.
Kane is a glorious sword and sorcery character that also explores the the philosophical questions of life and death. Truly more than what is expected with a curious glance. Delve deeper and enjoy the world of Kane.
In this short story collection we follow Kane from distant winter palace where he encounters werewolf bent on killing every human being, desert world where Kane is followed and attacked by man pledged to destroy every evil creature (although they could have just taken one look at themselves) to the ruined city where vampire mistress rules.

All stories are just great, fast-paced with great characters and action.
Recommended.

These three tales are of Kane-- except I think we see almost a hint of remorse. . .almost. But then we'll never know. . .He's Kane.
First Kane stories I read and still some of the best, to my mind.
This series of books is a must read for any fan of Fantasy (IMHO)
